The Bloodline System (Web Novel)
chapter-739

Shrroooummm~

A burst of smoke first blasted forth from beneath the engine.

"Kiiaarrhhhh! I'll speak, I'll speak spar..." The man's screams were drowned in the loud volume of the starting spacecraft engine.

Blueish-colored flames blasted forth heavily without restriction, spreading across the surroundings.

Fortunately, this was a take-off point, so it was massive and void of living creatures. Even though the empty space of the take-off point covered a radius of more than fifteen thousand feet, the blueish-colored flames still covered the entire vicinity.

It looked like Miss Aimee, and the man had already been consumed by the flames with the look of things.

However, when the force of the engine slowly died down, and the fire retracted, two people could still be seen floating right underneath the engine area of the spacecraft.

Purplish aura-like energy covered them both, and it would seem not a single scratch had been inflicted on both of them even with the temperature and blasting forth of the engine.

The man was breathing in and out heavily at this point as he touched himself with a shocked look on his face seeing as he was still alive.

His face flushed as he could feel wetness in his groin area.

"Now that you have something to tell me... Spill or we go through what just happened earlier again," Miss Aimee voiced out.

"Yes, yes, erm, you see, ma'am, not that I didn't want to tell you, but..." The man voiced out shakily, trying to explain himself.

"Go straight to the point," Miss Aimee cut him short before he could complete his sentence.

"Yes ma'am, the..." He began to start explaining something to miss Aimee.

A few minutes later, Miss Aimee was leaving the vicinity with Red Shadow while the spacecraft was parked by the side.

The poor man who had almost lost his life was kneeling behind with an almost lifeless look while staring at Miss Aimee and Red Shadow disappearing into the distance.

It was obvious Miss Aimee had protected both of them from the outburst of flames from the spacecraft engine.

Her tactic was very solid, using such a means to scare the victim into spilling. If on the verge of death, they still remained adamant that they had spilled everything that would mean the person was telling the truth because no one would want to carry a truth that belonged to something else to their grave.

Miss Aimee, of course, already covered him with her energy before the outburst from the engine, so if he had been telling the truth about revealing everything earlier, he wouldn't die.

Outside the premises of the location, which read, "DINKLER SPACE TRAVEL AGENCY!" Miss Aimee and Red Shadow paused their movements.

She was currently receiving a video call as a holographic projection appeared right in front of her.

"Yes, I know about it already," She responded to the MBO officer on the other side, who had a respectful gaze as he spoke to her.

-"Then young miss, why..." Before the person on the other side could complete their statement, she interrupted.

"You lots dare not touch him until I'm done here. Anyone that harms him will answer to me," She stated with a powerful and threatening tone.

The person on the other side instantly kept quiet, not wanting to get on her nerves.

"If he truly committed such an act, then there must be an underlying reason. I will find him myself and hand him over if I judge the situation to be his fault," Miss Aimee stated before ending the call.

Red Shadow, who has been beside her all this time without speaking, finally spoke.

"After you find him, will you truly hand him over to them?" He asked.

"No," She responded without any hesitation.

"If they truly wish to get him from me, then they are welcome to try," Miss Aimee stated before moving towards the black hovercar up ahead.

"What if he's already dead? The witnesses say he was battling three powerful opponents," Red Shadow voiced out as he followed after her.

"Gustav won't die so easily... He's my student," Miss Aimee said with a confident tone, knowing Gustav had multiple means of escape at his disposal.

She had no idea that he was truly almost killed since he was in a situation where he couldn't leave the people he was protecting behind.

After getting into the hovercar, it zoomed off.

"Red Shadow, the moment we get rid of the nuclear toxin bomb, I'll leave the rest to you. I have to go and find him," Miss Aimee voiced out as they travelled across the city.

"Sure, you can count on me," Red Shadow responded affirmatively.

*******************

-Three Days Later

During the last three days, Gustav spent his time recuperating, gathering information about happenings within the city, and making plans.

The authorities' forces had increased in numbers across the city, looking for him everywhere but were still unable to find him.

There were multiple powerful MBO officers with scanning bloodline abilities that had tried to use different means to locate him but all failed.

Sir ZiL's personal lab was crafted with well-cloaking tiles and top-notch technology that rendered most of these abilities useless even though some of them were very powerful.

Gustav just had to stay hidden within the lab in the meantime.

The MBO was the most powerful force on the earth and one of the most powerful across galaxies, so it was no surprise that they would have a lot of forces.

But still, top-notch criminals like Jabal would still be able to escape regardless because they were able to couple technologies like this with their intelligence.

However, it had been a long time since the MBO mobilized this amount of force, and this was due to the number of lives lost.

If Jabal was in this same situation, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape since they had never come after him like this before.

The city had been locked down, so no one could leave or come in except officials.
